I bought a house in the country
I never mow the lawn
Never pull the weeds
Never take the trash out
No one cares out here

I bought a house in the country
I never read the news
Mostly feed the birds
Me and all the squirrels collecting nuts
We chase each other around the cedar stump

Honestly
I know
We have to say goodbye sometimes
Honestly
We know
You have to say goodbye

I bought a house in the country
I read the palms of trees
They've been around a while
Way longer than the books up on my shelf
I think they have the fortune I've been waiting for

I bought a house in the country
I did it for my lungs
To sing along with bugs
Seventeen years in the dirt
We ought to live it up if this is all we got

And honestly
I know
We have to say goodbye sometimes
Honestly
We know
You have to say goodbye

I bought a house in the country
I bought a house in the country
I never mow the lawn

I never mow the lawn
I never mow the lawn
'Cause I know you're never coming home

I never mow the lawn
I'm never moving on
'Cause you're never coming home
